Open Source Driver on HD 3200 Fedora 10 Preview

11-06-2008, 10:05 PM

I bought a new laptop, in a rather hurry the other day (other one died), and it has an ATI HD 3200 IGP. I tried installing Fedora 9 on it, but graphics didn't work properly on the installation, so I went to Fedora 10 Preview.

Fedora 10 Preview is running on it but I notice that graphics performance didn't seem very good, and when I tried to setup Gtreamer video output to use the X11/Xshm/Xv option it didn't work.

So I looked at the Xorg.log.0 and found that direct rendering is disabled, and acceleration initialization failed:

Comment

There is no xorg.conf. Apparently a clean Fedora 10 Preview install does not create one. I'm not really sure how it works. I even searched the system to see if there was one, just in a different location, but nothing.
